House number one on our tour was fabulous! The very talented and charming hostess Shelley, holds classes in dried wreaths, swags, tablecenters, etc., as well as making and distributing wonderful potpourri. The large room above the garage is the kind of craft area we would all covet…

Photos were taken by my daughter, who has talent for such things!

The ribbon area..

Potpourri…

Part of the cozy room..the craft table where classes are held..

One wall of clear bins for storage of the fruits and herbs which Shelley harvests and dries…oooh, such variety!…

Each year, Pineridge Hollow organizes a home tour for a charity. This year, the proceeds are going to aid an orphanage in Bolivia.

Decorators from Pineridge do the decorating of each home, interspersed with the owner’s own decor. Many of the items on display are from the store, or can be ordered.

The photos below are of the second home we toured..a 1920’s home along the river, It has been fully renovated. The Christmas decor is quite simple, but very effective,….. lots of brown with natural boughs.

First, the dining table..

A chest at the top of the stairs

The kitchen was so gorgeous, and this sheep on the counter just won my heart ($100)
